Key Summary
About: The dual-degree programme: three years at Washington & Jefferson College and two at a partner engineering school — five years total. You receive a BA from W&J and a BS from the partner. Partners include Columbia, Case Western Reserve, and Washington University. It's associated with the Department of Physics.
Career Outcomes: Graduates enter engineering and technical roles; typical paths include civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical engineering; systems engineering; research and development; technical consulting; and engineering management. You can pursue graduate study or licensure. The programme builds engineering design, applied physics, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills for industry and government.
The dual-degree Engineering program combines the strengths of a liberal arts education and specialization in a field of engineering, with stronger training in basic science and a broad education including communication skills.
Students in this program spend three years at W&J and two years at an engineering school. Upon completion of the program, the student receives a Bachelor of Arts degree from W&J and a Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering field from the partner school.
Partner schools include Columbia University, Case Western Reserve University, and Washington University. Students may also complete their engineering studies at another school with an engineering program.
Students must complete W&J's degree requirements, but some requirements can be fulfilled by transferring courses back from the engineering school. No more than three courses may be earned off campus in the major.
The Engineering program is associated with the Department of Physics.
